Aleppo, Syria – On Wednesday, the Syrian armed opposition forces launched an attack on the regime-held headquarters in the southern countryside of Aleppo, seizing a large deal of weapons and ammunition, local activists reported.

As rebels were able to control Hamidiya village and seize weapons and ammunition, pro-regime air forces conducted several strikes on the opposition-held eastern neighborhoods of Aleppo, claiming lives of dozens among civilians.

Speaking to ARA News in Aleppo, media activist Wael Mohammed reported that rebels of Ahrar ash-Sham supported by other factions from the Free Syrian Army (FSA) gained control of Hamidiya town, near the strategic town of Khanasser ــa regime’s major supply line in Aleppo province.

“The rebel group of Sham Corps (Failaq ash-Sham) planned an ambush for pro-regime forces in the industrial city of Aleppo, killing a number of soldiers and bombing a vehicle (BMB),” the source told ARA News.

Regime forces responded fiercely to the armed opposition forces through intensifying air raids on several neighborhoods in the city of Aleppo.
